Showcase on South Africa!

South Africa is a forgotten territory in terms of contemporary Music. It possesses, however, a Hip-Hop, Electro, and Pop-Rock scene that is lively and inventive.

Le Printemps de Bourge wants to shed some light on this explosive music scene, where after years of Apartheid, the barriers between white and black cultures has started to break, and many now draw from each culture's musical history in order to create richer projects. Far from just an anecdote, the festival will showcase this eclectic and sizzling music scene all throughout the week in various venues...

Festival' video clips

Yes, once again, Le Printemps de Bourges and la FNAC revelations opens the season of festivals, the season of music in large proportions, the sharing of music – the stars, the newcomers, the seasoned veterans, genuine craftsmen, the bizarre, and overwhelming emotions... Once again Le Printemps de Bourges is an antidote for winter, for gravity, for the cold, and pessimism. The financial crisis? For six days, it will be in retreat.

And yet, in the music industry, financial instability and insecurity are becoming an ever-increasing reality, even as attendance at concert venues is higher than ever. The economic disaster concerning record sales has forced the entire music industry to reinvent themselves. Happily, here at Printemps, this type of movement is a tradition, reinventing ourselves is the norm.
